Classification by Density Intersection

Neural Processing Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A classification method based on the intersection surface between two parameterized densities is proposed. The densities are obtained from class-labeled data by maximizing the mutual information across a system of integrated Gaussians, but, in practice, only the intersection surface needs to be estimated. The application of the proposed technique is demonstrated by predicting stock behavior.
